bulking FTW! (actually not bulking much due to genetic disadvantage )

can be done mate, ive done it. left high school in the mid 60kg mark. hit 80 last year.

I know some can be done. Specifics that I'm not willing to commit to with regard to training due to conflicting goals.

So k31th is having the same problems as phil has in regarss to the 5 gas emmission tests to get the car over the pits?

[k31th]

Similar problem, but worse. Victoria is much more strict than WA on this sort of thing :(

[masda74]

so how can one get their car engineered, if you won't pass the emissions test with 100CPI cat?

It means going back to stock cat which is 400CPI and renders the tune useless.

 

I have asked this before and I have not had a reply. Maybe because it is a stupid question.

However I will ask it again. Is it possible to use two 400CPi cats next to each other if space was not a factor?

Well I was thinking, from the turbo you use a 4" dump which then splits into a Y.

The Y will allow you to have the first cat as close as possible to stock position and the second cat a tad further down.

Maybe I should draw a drawing.

Would this flow better and pass emissions?

Surely there's a habib bros racing down there that will sign it off for a few hundred?

It's all about ADRs, which are federal (ie nationwide, the same across all states).

 

However, I'm told that we do a 5-gas test here in WA, which is easier than a full test.

 

Apparently the factory cat is the one to have.

 

The trick would be to find someone who has actual hands-on experience with this.  

 

It be be done.  First step is to get a standard cat as hot as possible.  If that doesn't pass then it's time to play with HP Tuners.

 

I found a place here in Perth (Garage 101) that has both an emissions testing machine and HP Tuners.  That's the combination to find, but it turned out that HP Tuners wasn't necessary in the end.

 

Running E10 or E85 might also get the car half way there.  Dunno.  That's a question for someone who has experience with getting cars through emissions tests.

I had a mate who threw an LS3 into his VX sedan. Did the work and tune himself in HP tuners and rocked up to the emissions testing place with his laptop and the dude let him tinker with the tune until it passed. Keith, you like computers...do that.

I tuned a barra swapped patrol about 3ys ago that passed emissions testing just fine. 

 

Seriously it's not fucking rocket surgery. Examine what the OEM did apply the principles to the tune and hardware and get on with life. There's no tricks,  no smoke and mirrors.

 

Furthermore an engine is just an air pump. 

 

Control what goes in and you can control what goes out.

Weren't there a fair few other items required to get a RWC? (not just emissions?)
